The discussion revolves around the relationship between wavelength and the power of a wave on a string, specifically examining the equation for power in terms of various physical parameters.
Participants are actively engaging with the problem, raising questions about the definitions and relationships between the variables in the equation. Some have provided links to external resources for further exploration, indicating a collaborative effort to clarify concepts.
There is mention of potential differences in definitions or symbols between the textbook and external resources, which may affect understanding. Participants are also considering the implications of these differences on their interpretations of the problem.
Your relevant equation has frequency in it. What connects that with wavelength?ChloeYip said:
It's your equation. If you say F is tension you must be right. (What's μ?)ChloeYip said:
Since wave velocity is √(tension/linear density), the two equations are the same.ChloeYip said:
what i mean is w = 2 pi fChloeYip said:
